Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 17, 1905.

Application filed July 18, 1904. Serial No. 216,990.

10 all whom it 72111.7 concern.-

Be it known that 1, HARRY T. KINGSBURY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Keene, in the county of Cheshire, State of 1 New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toy I-look-and- Ladder Trucks, of which the following is a description, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of refer ence marked thereon.

My invention relates to an improvement in toys, and particularly to a toy hook-and-ladder truck, the object being to provide a simple, cheap, and durable toy.

The invention consists in the matters hereinaiter described, and referred to in the appended claims.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective View, andFig. 2 a sectional detail view at the rear of the truck.

1n the drawings, A represents the side frames, which are formed out of pressed steel, as shown. I

Brepresents the rear side braces, which are of the form shown, having the outwardly and downwardly extending lugs Z), with openings in them for the reception of the ends of the rear axle. (Not shown.)

A cross rod or brace 0 is provided, as shown. Above the cross rod or brace c the braces B are enlarged, as shown at (Z, and above the enlarged part extends a vertical portion 6, which has the extensions f fitting in the grooves a, the vertical portion a being riveted to the pressed-steel side pieces A. The upper extension is much longer than the lower one, and from it extends the part O, which is formed to imitate one-half the seat and the human figure D.

The construction of the front side braces B is similar to the braces B, except that the lugs 1) curve inwardly and downwardly and are riveted together and have a projecting pin g to engage the forward wheel-truck. (Not shown.)

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

1. In a toy hook-and-ladder truck, the combination with the side frames, braeingframes each composed of two members having a vertical portion secured to the side frames, downwardly-extending lugs adapted to receive the axle, and upwardly-extending portions terminating in representations of a seat, human figure, and the like; substantially as described.

2. In a toy hook-and-ladder truck, the com bination with the side frames, having upper and lower grooves, the bracing-frames, each composed of two members having a vertical portion secured to the side frames, and with extensions fitting in said grooves, down wardly-extending lugs and upwardly-extending portions terminating in representations of a seat, human figure and the like; substantially as described.

Tn testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HARRY T. KINGSBURY.
